Early life
Antonio Carluccio was born in Vietri sul Mare, Salerno, Italy's fifth of six children of Giovanni Carluccio, a stationmaster of Benevento bookbinders and his wife Maria, née Trivellone.
When he was young and lived in Castelnuovo Belbo and Borgofranco d'Ivrea, he moved with his father's occupation. As a child, he'd look for specific mushrooms and fungi with his dad in the northwest, a region with abundant vegetation. He completed his compulsory one-year of military service in the Italian Navy after leaving school. He briefly worked as a journalist with La Stampa in Turin and then as a writer and sales representative for typewriter manufacturer Olivetti, after leaving the Navy.
Personal life
Carluccio had three marriages, each of which resulted in divorce. Priscilla Conran, Terence Conran's sister, was his third wife.
Carluccio was the 'castaway' on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, where he was interviewed by Kirsty Young on July 11, 2008. Carluccio chose The Finale from Camille Saint-Saint as his favorite record, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy as his preferred book, and white truffles as his luxury gift.
For many years, he suffered from depression as a result of his brother's death and his marriage failures. Carluccio attempted suicide with a pair of scissors in 2008 but he recovered after his personal assistant's help. The media were notified that he had an accident with a bread knife at the time of the attack. Carluccio later described his suicide attempt as "liberating," meaning that "from this moment on, my mind changed" and that his subsequent admission to the Priory Clinic prompted him to "take stock of my life and honor all of the good in it."
Carluccio was an atheist atheist. After a fall at his house, he died on November 8, 2017 at the age of 80.
Career
Carluccio came to Vienna at the age of 21 to study languages. He lived in Germany from 1962 to 1975, beginning as a wine merchant in Hamburg. He came from the United Kingdom in 1975 to work as a wine merchant, importing Italian wines.
He took over Neal Street Restaurant in London's Covent Garden in 1981, and its founder in 1989. Jamie Oliver, a British celebrity chef, began his career at the Neal Street Restaurant, which closed in 2006.
Carluccio wrote twenty books about Italian cuisine. In 1996, Antonio Carluccio's Italian Feasts appeared on BBC television and in his own film Antonio Carluccio's Italian Feasts. Genenaro Contaldo's travels around Italy in 2011 were filmed for the BBC Two series Two Greedy Italians; two Greedy Italians was shown the following year.
He was given the AA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012 and published A Recipe For Life, his autobiography.
In September 2021, it was announced that the Antonio Carluccio Library and Archive had opened at Oxford Brookes University.
